Notes

"Mason B. Taylor was a taper from Chicago that recorded concerts by many bands in the Chicagoland area and on Dead tours. He used a Nakamichi 550 with Nakamichi 300 mics with shotgun capsules for most of his earlier recordings. In later years he used Sony D-5 and Sony D-3 cassette recorders with Nakamichi 300 mics.

Mason captured spectacular musical moments and loved to share them with his closest friends. In honor of Mason and all the love he put into his recordings we are now able to share these moments with those who can appreciate them most.

As the shows get uploaded we would love for you to share your stories about the epic times the music evokes so we can all dial back into that moment when the magic was happening.

Thanks to Mason’s family and his Chicago and Cleveland friends for opening up Mason’s Jar…"

Subject: Unique Saint of Circumstance

Great quality audience recording. Really feels like you are there.
My favorite track is the unique Saint of Circumstance with a slower lingering intro and by the end they flow it into a cool "Estimated Prophet"-esque jam.

Subject: Excellent Recording

Upfront, deliciously warm and gooey tape. Best of the Mason Taylors I have heard.

Subject: Quality audience tape

1979 audience tapes' quality are hit and miss, but this one is pretty good. Nice to see the boys treated us to a China/Rider to close the first set; something usually saved for a set 2 opener. Five songs from the then-upcoming Go To Heaven album. I'd like to give this recording 4.5 stars, but the system won't allow it. The Mason (jar) Taylor logo is clever. Side note: this show was about a month after my very first show, at the Nassau Coliseum in NY. What a great ride the Dead gave us!,
